This paper merges between elliptic curve addition presents a modified processor architecture for Elliptic Curve Cryptography computations in Galois Fields GF(p). The architecture incorporates the methodology of pipelining to utilize the benefit of both parallel and serial implementations. It allows the exploitation of the inherited independency that exists in elliptic curve point addition and d...

This study examined effects of Prosodic Boundary and Syllable Structure on the CV intergestural timing in Korean, using an EMA. The intergestural timing was more stable in the tautosyllabic (#CV) than in the heterosyllabic (C#V) condition, in line with the lexically-specified intergestural timing hypothesis, and that it was found to be more stable across an IP than a Word boundary. Nevertheless...

Instead of conformation states of single residues, refined conformation states of quintuplets are proposed to reflect conformation correlation. Simple hidden Markov models combined with sliding window scores are used to predict the secondary structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence. Since the length of protein conformation segments varies within a narrow range, we can ignore the dura...

Let K,S,D be a division ring an endomorphism and a S-derivation of K, respectively. In this setting we introduce generalized noncommutative symmetric functions and obtain Viète formula and decompositions of differential operators. W -polynomials show up naturally, their connections with P -independency, Vandermonde and Wronskian matrices are briefly studied. The different linear factorizations ...

Non-native and accent speakers often face problems when using a speaker-independent (SI) speech recognition system. Speaker adaptation has been a solution to make SI recognizer work better for individuals. Targeting embedded implementation and applications in fast changing mobile environments, we in this paper proposed a supervised speaker adaptation (SA) solution with low system resource consu...

The mapping between databases and ontologies is a basic problem when trying to "upgrade" deep web content to the semantic web. Our approach suggests the declarative definition of mappings as a way to achieve domain independency and reusability. A specific language (expressive enough to cover some real world mapping situations like lightly structured databases or not 1st normal form ones) is def...

The lack of double negation and de Morgan properties makes fuzzy logic unsymmetrical. This is the reason why fuzzy versions of notions like closure operator or Galois connection deserve attention for both antiotone and isotone cases, since they are not dual. This paper offers them attention, comming to the following conclusions: some kind of hardly describable ”local preduality” still makes pos...

Most compensation methods for robust speech recognition against noise assume independency between speech, additive and convolutive noise. However, the nonlinear nature distortion caused by noise may introduce correlation between noise and speech. To tackle this issue, we propose generalized-log spectral mean normalization (GLSMN) in which log spectral mean normalization (LSMN) is carried out in...

Introduction In Portugal, there is no formal casemix inpatient rehabilitation classification system. The budget for inpatient rehabilitation facilities within the Portuguese NHS is calculated on a per diem basis, with no relation to the diagnosis and the complexity of the patients treated. However, there is an ongoing pilot project where inpatient episodes are classified according to pathology ...

In the nineteenth century, Beltrami, Cayley, Klein, Poincaré and others showed the independency of the parallel postulate in Euclidean geometry. In quantum mechanics, some times the electron is a particle and at other times it is a wave. According to general relativity theory predictions, black holes will not decay and split but quantum physics says that the black hole will decay and split. The...
